I'm your usual host, Alex Denne, and today, I'm accompanied by Alex Pap and Nitish Mutha (Founder of Legaltech Genie AI). We start by introducing Llama and discuss its weights leaking incident. We also elaborate how Llama compares to other AI models and explain how to use it. The conversation takes a turn towards the Meta vs Open AI dispute, shedding light on their differences and impact in this space. We also discuss Meta's data management and how it can actually come up trumps on both privacy strategy here, and non-copyrighted multi-lingual training data.

We don't delve too deep into the already covered demo-gate scandal, don't worry! This episode features insights from Senior ML Research Scientist Alex Pap and AI Startup Founder and CTO Nitish Mutha.

It's been a year since ChatGPT was released (yeah, feels longer than that doesn't it?). We’re going to look through it’s achievements, and then run a few episodes taking a closer look at the competition hot on OpenAI's heels So this will be the first in a short 5-part mini series where we’re talking about the alternatives to Open AI - given the Fiasco which has dominated headlines for the past 3 weeks - details of which are still emerging. Some stats on ChatGPT from the past 12 months ChatGPT was an overnight success, attracting one million users in the first five days of its launch, according to Sam Altman.Today, the chatbot has more than 100 million users.OpenAI’s website is visited more than 1.5 billion times every month, according to SimilarWeb data as of September.Nearly half of Americans have heard about ChatGPT, according to a recent poll by YouGov.In February 2023, OpenAI released ChatGPT Plus at $20 per month. Plus users can access GPT-4, while the free version of ChatGPT is powered by GPT-3.5.OpenAI is valued by private investors at up to $90 billion. That’s nearly 35 times what the company was worth two years ago.OpenAI’s headcount has more than doubled since launching ChatGPT. Currently it employs about 770.

We discuss: AI Coding Tools, Code-Interpreter, Python, Regex, Network errors, Machine Learning, ChatGPT4, HTML Parsing, Github Copilot vs GPT-4 In this episode, we delve into a fascinating experiment where I, Alex Denne, under the watchful guidance of ML Research Scientist Alex Pap, try to get AI to writing some regex that can be run locally on my machine using python, on millions of documents. The goal? To extract matching text from millions of HTML files. It all inadvertently unfolds into an intriguing journey of trial and error. For the no-code listeners, this episode offers first-hand insights into the application and limitations of AI coding tools and code interpreters (and why, for now, you probably still need technical help like Alex D did!) At the outset, we were greeted by a seemingly promising result - a neat CSV file with the right column names but no entries as the AI successfully claimed to extract definitions only to produce an empty result. In an attempt to further probe, the AI was prompted to read the first 100 characters for potential matches. Alas! In lieu of any found matches, it concluded the document must be lengthy and gracefully tapped out. In addition, we had to deal with several network errors that may be attributed to the reported DDoS attacks on OpenAI. After multiple hits and misses, we decided to start afresh with a new approach. We didn't exactly strike gold, but we learned a lot. Through this episode, we touch upon topics like ChatGPT4 and the wonderful feature of 'dragging and dropping' files into GPT-4 Turbo.

Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI. In a statement, the board of directors said: “OpenAI was deliberately structured to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity. The board remains fully committed to serving this mission. We are grateful for Sam’s many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward. As the leader of the company’s research, product, and safety functions, Mira is exceptionally qualified to step into the role of interim CEO. We have the utmost confidence in her ability to lead OpenAI during this transition period.” Sam Altman Tweet: i loved my time at openai. it was transformative for me personally, and hopefully the world a little bit. most of all i loved working with such talented people. will have more to say about what’s next later. 🫡

We discuss: Microsoft, Microsoft Copilot, Copilot for Azure, AI technologies, Microsoft Ignite 2023, CRM Assistants, CRM integrations, Generative AI for Enterprises, GPT Store, Open AI, Word Add-Ons, Excel, Dynamics 365, Copilot Studio, Satya Nadella, Sam Altman, Notion AI, Notion's New Q&A feature, What Powers Notion AI (Spoiler: It's GPT-4). No Rafie today - but we press on. In this episode, we discuss the new offerings from Microsoft concerning its Copilot series, which uses generative AI technologies. During the Microsoft Ignite 2023 conference, the company introduced the Copilot for Azure, Copilot for Service, and Copilot in Dynamics 365 Guides. We also discuss the launch of Copilot Studio, a platform that offers tools to connect Copilot to third-party data. The Copilot for Azure, similar to Google's recently announced Duet AI in Google Cloud, takes the form of a chat-driven assistant for cloud customers, helping with configuration suggestions and troubleshooting potential issues. Copilot for Service integrates with CRM software for customer service use cases, while the Copilot in Dynamics 365 Guides is designed to summarize useful information for frontline workers in a variety of industries. We also discuss the new update from Notion, a note-taking app enhanced with AI. Its new 2.35 update introduces a new feature called Q&A, which is currently in beta testing. This feature responds to your notes in the form of answers, making it easier to manage tasks, timelines, and priorities. (Or does it?)

The more specific you are, the better the answer you’ll get. - Always remember that the (transformer) model is predicting the next most probably sequence of tokens or words, whenever you are creating a prompt.

Prime the language model by providing a persona for it. Asking the model to think through its response step-by-step “Let’s think step-by-step” Providing clear context: Offer concise background information for guidance. Use Cases: Definition explanations, historical event summaries, concept descriptions. Specifying the output format: Indicate desired answer structure explicitly. Use Cases: Generating lists, step-by-step instructions, summarizing long texts. Using explicit instructions: Request specific detail or critical thinking. Use Cases: Debating pros and cons, analyzing biases, evaluating arguments. Redundancy and rephrasing: Reinforce information by reiterating questions. Use Cases: Clarifying ambiguous topics, extracting specific details, verifying facts. Temperature and token settings: Adjust randomness and output length. Use Cases: Creative writing, focused summaries, generating multiple response variations. Iterative refinement: Refine prompts based on previous responses. Use Cases: Troubleshooting, problem-solving, narrowing down complex topics. Prompt engineering: Craft effective prompts using templates or examples. Use Cases: Analogies, translating complex topics into simple explanations, generating structured responses.
